Despite his significant talents, Terry Haste appears to be a frightfully humble, endearing fellow. And bashful while being celebrated. His reflective, downward gazes off into the distance made me smile because he reminded me of Paul Whitehouse's character Ted (from Ted & Ralph) on The Fast Show. Although there is an obvious warm friendship in your case, Terry's slightly uncomfortable demeanour is reminiscent of Ted. But like Ted, I can imagine if Terry was down the Battle Cruiser, he'd be a proper cheeky chappy.
Kirby is going to throw hands when he finds out you've been seeing his woman.
HAHAHAHHA very funny - yep he will be shooting back for a dozen pairs of trousers made with three pleats.

She was one of the highlights of Kirby's channel. Her video of drafting and drawing the trouser pattern is one of the best unintentional ASMR videos on YT.
What do I type in TH-cam to watch the unintentional asmr video?

As an American, i can confirm: partial break is the way to go. The trend of no break over here is too much like skinny jeans....no thank you.
I collected a new pair of trousers from there a couple of weeks ago……completely first class….its a lovely shop and all the staff are super; more like visiting fun bantering friends. Suyamba is a fabulous cutter.
Superb and such a brilliant team
Wonderful presentation - regards from Australia.
Suyamba is a special one. Not only talemted but very beautiful and a lovely speaking voice. I love her explanations of what they are tailoring.
SUYAMBA. Coolest cat on The Row. Kirkby & The Rake giving love where it is richly deserved.
Wow ! What a beautiful Norfolk ! That detailing is really crazy. No word's to describe how balanced and beauty it is. Tom you have a good taste :) and Tailors with a capital "T" ! That can create with in idea such a BEAUTIFUL art ! Truly craftsmanship's, Tailoring art! God bless those people with golden hands.
Please more videos. Thank you for this such great video.
Beautiful GP on the wrist mate. White gold small seconds = class.
*LOVE THE BACK DETAILING* especially on the shoulder - I might try that on the next coat I make
Great videos, not too stuffy yet informative and entertaining.
An absolutely first class video Tom. It was refreshing to see somebody chatting/interviewing, and having a friendly banter. Both you and Terry came across like lifelong friends. The suit was fantastic, and looked perfect on you. The mention of 'bow legs', reminded me of an old saying that my paternal grandmother said, 'They're so bow legged, they couldn't stop a pig in a passage'.An extra bonus was the chat with Stephen Lachter. Laughed at the outtakes.
20:10 Much as I have been entertained by our host's narration, I am grateful for the words of wisdom, tradecraft and indeed even the simple change of sound that the tailor imparts.
It's always enjoy listening to tailors discussing the little details they have added in to show there work.
I do love brown DBs.
Excellent insight into the process. The lady who did the trousers explained the makers side very well indeed. Nice suit.
Always Elegant!!! They make incredible garments!!! 🎩
How quaint this channel is . ❤
Brilliant suit. Quite unusual with the belted back and those pockets
Someday, I'll get a bespoke suit and hopefully, Kent & Haste will do it for me. Quintessential British tailoring. And they look like lovely people 😊
Yes its nice the infomality and joviality. They are normal sown to earth skilled tradespeople. Fantastic.
Lovely to see Terry and Suyamba. Real shame John wasn’t there
Fantastic video, my favorite of the series so far. Always love getting a glimpse into this house.
Congratulations on the video, it was informative and very fluid.
Beautiful piece of art.
Superb content Tom, loving your take
The wider lapel , high on your chest, really gives you that broad shouldered strength in looks. Most male models look effete and too narrow everywhere. Some men are so muscular and have such small waists compared to their shoulders that they look like they’ve been Stuffed into a suit that’s barely big enough. Your suits are fitted in such a way that you have an aura of unaffected elegance, masculinity and approachable appeal. Love the aesthetics of your suits!
I still dream of being able to say “this is my tailor, and this is my shirt maker.”
“O” to be able to afford bespoke clothes, dreams are cheap thank goodness.
Love the videos.
Suitsupply 😎
*OMG 6 YEARS* I remember the trouser lady joining the company - wow time passes so quickly
That little dark girl is cute, she should not be crossdressing.
@@BeauQuillen what a boring combination of sexism and racism
@@bl00dhoney Yeah I've haven't seen such an ignorant racist load of crap in a long time. @BeauQuillen Go clean yourself up. Your stink is making this whole place unbearable.
@@BeauQuillen what is genuinely wrong with you
@@JSerrato289 A lot of things are wrong with me. I was raised by the Ku Klux Klan in Florida, and was sent to a Mental Hospital in August of 1975 when I was 11 years old. I was released in October of 1990.
Lovely video but what impressed me most was Terry grabbing the falling tape measure without looking 😄👌🏽
I love the pink trousers she made and is wearing :) the shirt is also lovely and no doubt comfortable. The tweed looks handsome on you :) well done K&H the style reminds me of Jeeves and Wooster, Bertie's tweed suit :) thank you Tom for this interesting series your Mrs. is a very lucky lady indeed. Love the off cuts of video at the end ;)
Fabulous video! Immensely informative and entertaining. Kindest regards. PJ.
Excellent, do hope Kirby was paying attention when you were discussing break!
I really enjoy these videos. I hope this is an ongoing project.
Just discovered your site. Love it. Keep up the interesting content and personal aspect of tailoring. I’m now a Cordings man after Aquascutum lost its way years ago.
A fantastic company, it makes me want to say that if I was to have a Savile Row bespoke suit, I'd want Kent & Haste to make my first one. As a poor person who was bullied about "flood water" pants, a slight break is a must have. No break triggers thoughts of pants being too short; when sitting I do not want to expose a foot of leg, just some ankle is fine. I do favor pleats. I like the cross-over on the waist, I've got a pair of British Army wool dress trousers that has a cross-over you just don't see in Canada.
Not a fan of the jacket pockets I'm afraid. Lapels are great. Love the bigger waistband on the trousers. You have a proper hump on your back! Tried a brace? Great video.
Terry is class .
Suyamba always wears beautiful fitted trousers .
she makes lovely trousers
I hope John is doing well . there knowledge is amazing
Lovely English perspective as compared to Kirby’s view. Not having a dig but just the different cultural flavours - keep up the good work, you, Kirby, Kent and haste😊
Beautiful jacket! Also, that tie has an amazing shade of green.
Speaking of pleats vs no pleats, I really don’t see how pleats make pants more “comfortable”. Comfort is in the overall fit and cut of the trouser, which can be flat front, single pleated, or double pleated. Pants can be low waisted and narrow, and no amount of pleats will make them comfortable. Or pants can be comfortably specious around the seat and thighs, while having a flat front. Pleats are, essentially, a stylistic element. I prefer single, relatively shallow pleats for aesthetic purposes, a mid rise, enough space in the seat and thigh to always feel comfortable in any position throughout the day, a taper below the knee to a 7.5-8 inch opening, and a very small, barely noticeable break.
I love the cloth the color is so eyepleasing and looks so hogh quality of fabric.
Loving all the videos and instructions but I am now having trouble to chose which Taylor to chose to get my first bespoke suit..
Brilliant series on a Gentleman's London looking at all the mens businesses in London. Perhaps you could visit Frank Foster shirts in Pall Mall.
Love the shoes!
Famous picture of Nutter wearing a crazy mixture of patterns graces several men's style books.
The height of luxury, absolutely brilliant. I too love the double breasted suit.
I really like this tour, I've been wanting to know more about this tailor
lovely jacket details
Definitely no break for me.
The Late Writer/Satirist Tom Wolfe (RIP), used the same tailor since the 1960's who did all of his suits including the legendary white suit. The History of The Forresters on The Bold & The Beautiful was that Eric Forrester was the son of a tailor who ran a shop in Chicago, Ill. While a Student at Northwestern College (Megan Markle's Alma Mater) he met Stephanie Douglas and the rest is history.
Tailor looks like he is thinking wish was anywhere except here
Wonderful program. Please can you talk more about the specifics of each house cut. Some are quite clear (Huntsman, A&S etc). But y for others its less so. So why pick a specific tailor for bespoke? You won’t do this so often and want to stick with one. What are the specific differences in cut?
Really smart suit. I'm trying to decide which shoes I would wear with it.
Tom I have really enjoyed these episodes they have been hugely insightful. Had the pleasure of bumping into you at Huntsman a few months ago. Keep up the brilliant content 👌🏾
It was a great honour meeting you Jason. I’ve been meaning to get Taj to link us together to do something for the mag.
@@tfchamberlin It would be great to work with you please get in contact with Taj and we will sort it, as I hugely admire your work and of your style. Hopefully hear from you through Taj soon!
11,000 views after one day 😍
What scents are these wonderful gentlemen wearing?
How is John? Hope he is enjoying retirent and still making the odd comeback now amd again
I go with zero break. Honestly, I always find the most stylish men have zero break in the trousers.
have you done a video on how to choose a tailor ?
Someone who listens to what you want and can marry that with what you need.
Your first tailor may not be the one you stay with, so you want to really choose well.
does kent and haste make casual summer shirts and is there something like bespoke T shirts?
Dont think there is anything like a bespoke t-shirt, what would the purpose of that be? If you want bespoke shirts there are a few companies doing that.
This former Marine Corp officer wants a full-break for all his trousers made by his SR tailors just like what his uniforms were a long-time ago! I think it looks best for me that way. It's just a tad lower then what Tom's are.
Mr. Terry's accents are very handsome. More britishy to me OR i dont know anything about it may be @5:20 "tweed , sewing it together"
Working class Londoners made good. Just the best.
I enjoyed this immensely and adore your brown Tweed, delicious.
Here’s my view on break-start with just a touch more break than I want because at some inevitable point, my wife will take them to the local dry cleaners without my knowing, and they will return shorter.
If someone could tell me where to buy the type of shirt Mr. Haste is wearing, with cuffs like those, I would be most appreciative. They don’t look French, but rather something else I’m not familiar with.
Cocktail cuff. Most notable from James Bond Dr. No. That shirt was made by Turnbull and Asser but most custom shirt makers can make them for you.
I love how I can’t look at suits the same😂😂
i love how terry's face doesnt move when you disucss getting heavier ! ultimate discretion
Time to make haste!
A man who patronises his tailor - in more ways than one..
22:31 lol too smooth
Hey Suyamba!
I've heard that they are quite a bit more affordable than the highbrow houses on Savile Row?! It would be informative to at least give a ballpark figure as to costs and comparisons so as to demystify the intimidation of the bespoke process.
I don’t use KHL, but do patronize one of their neighbors, and know them a bit. They are significantly less than someone like a Huntsman or Poole (maybe £1000 less), but I would think the pricing discussion still starts at around £4500 for a normal two piece.
Yes it starts around £4200 for a two piece. You could also check through their contact us section for anything specific
I wouldn't classify this suit is suitable for the "city" as you will look odd in a normal office, unless you work in the creative industries. This for me is a suit you wear in a country club or some very posh manor, definitely not something you wear in a normal "office".
Give the poor girl a mic !
How tall are you Tom? Because I'm 6 ft myself but you certainly look massive, maybe 6' 4''? Video was lovely as always, cheers.
I would think the lapels on that jacket are well out of date.
Terry Haste has he got cocktail cuffs on his shirt??
You wait until Kirby finds out you’re in his manor, he’ll be FUMING 😡.
That undertaker doesn't run the Row
'how are you darling'? Did I hear it right?
Kirby prepping for war
He might have ironed his suit trousers
Lovely suit . Shame about shirt collar turning inwards .. And no Windsor tie .
Yes "break" is a really importnat issue, just like those girls being bombed in Ulraine
Remember to steam your pants if they've been clipped in a hanger.
Why are you guys pranking me ....... do I deserve it?????? This is cruel ......
Should have pressed your trousers mate 🤦♂️
My bate buddy goes there for his suits
Do UK Fellows wear Double Breasted Suits still. I don't see it in The US as much as I used to. I remember seeing Jerry Ver Dorn on Guiding Light 1979-2005 wearing them in the 1990's then wearing single breasted suits.
5k for a suit ... hopefully one day
While I respect the skill and craftsmanship required to produce suits ; after 20 + years of wearing them I have come to very much dislike suits , dress shirts , ties , and dress leather shoes. I always felt likeI was a “ prisoner” trapped in something I didn’t want to wear. Now, I mostly wear cargo shorts , polo shirts, t shirts, long sleeve t shirts, jeans, flip flops, running shoes, skate shoes , and whatever else is comfortable . I don’t have to impress anybody, just be comfortable . In my opinion you are truly free when you can do what you want , dress how you want and live where you want ….And most importantly, spend your time how you want …..
I think that you have to be tall to be able to carry a double-breasted suit well, so you make the grade.
Calling another man darling is very weird
I've no time for anyone who pats their own back. It's not the sign of a true gent.
It was a said as a joke. He knew he was breaking the rules. I think that's passable.
Even Brett Sinclair would be amused….. 🤔
Oh god just shoot me ..... the embarrassment is too much
Your jacket looks strange on the hands shoulders it's like the jacket is too tight, Ringling All around
This is absurd
Tbh it’s probably nice living in your world……try mine??? Army veteran on a pension??? 🤔😳🤭🤦♂️😆🤣
